SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters-Patent No. I791,628, dated June 6,1905.

Application ned May 25.1904.. seria No. 209,766.

'To (LZZ- whom iv' may concern/rr;

Be `it known that I, Dnwis LANDAU, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Span Francisco, in the county of San Francisco-andState l of California, have invented lcertain new and usefulImprovements in Siphon-Bottles; and:l

vI do hereby declare; the following' to ybe a full,

clear, and exact description of the same, such f f aswill enable othersskilled in the art to'which y IO 'it appertains to make-and use thesame.v

Generally speaking, my present invention is'anl improvement inSiphon-bottles; but to' be more specific it is an improvement ontheinvention shown and described in myformer patent, No. 687,159, issued tome November 19, 1901'. y r

Besides possessing all the advantageous features of my former patent thepresent device has additional advantages, which will be noted in thefollowing specification.

In my present invention I have made provision for the ready refilling ofthe bottle without the necessity of the expensive stationary mechanismnow employed for that purpose.v

By the employment of my bottle it is possible to dispense the soda-waterdirectly from the bottle or through the head thereof` directly from thelarger storing-reservoir.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear in thefollowing specifications and the novel features thereof will beparticularly set forth in the appendant claims. In the. drawingshereunto annexed and constituting a part of this specification, Figure lis a vertical central section of the device. Fig. 2 is a similar view ofa modied form of construction, only a top portion of the head beingshown. Fig. 3 is a side elevation and partial section of a modification.Fig. 4 is a side elevation of still another modification. Fig. 5 is acentral section and partial elevation of stilll another form ofconstruction. Fig. 6 is a top view of the reciprocating plungeremployed. 4

Referring now to the above views by numeral, 1 represents the top of anordinarilyformed glass Siphon-bottle, about the neck of Which is set theordinarily-constructed metal 'collar 2,'- the outer surface of which isscrewthreaded' to engage with similarly-formed 'threads in the base 3 ofthe metal head. Held securelyk up against'the inner roof of the base 3by means of the upper rim" of the neck of the bottle and the interposedrubber washer 4 is the funnel-'shaped member 5, to which is secured theordinary glass Siphon-tube 6. Adapted to reciprocate in a verticalcha'nnel'7 and bearing at its lower extremity a rubber or otherwiseyielding valve-head 8 is the stem 9, the upper extremity of whichterminates` in a hollow head 10, in which is formed opposite spiralslots 11. Passing through theseslots 11 and having its opposite endsheld in the neck l2 of the Siphon-head is the cross-pin 13. This pin isprevented from becoming displaced by means of the screw-cap 14:. Nowassuming that the hanf dle 15 is positioned as shown it would be readilyseen that as the handle isturned the head 10 will likewise turn, andowing to the presence of thc cross-pin 13 the head 10 and stem 9 will beforced downward, thereby moving the depending valve-head 8 away from itsseat A and allowing the contents of the bottle to ow upward and thenoutward from the curved spout B. The spring 16, which encirclesy thestern 9, causes the valve to return to its normal closed position as thehandle 15 is released.

On the opposite side of the base 3 from the spout B is the pipe 17,which leads to the interior of the member 5, but is isolated from spoutB by the valve-head 8." This pipe is provided with a valve C and thenconnected to a large portable copper tank or other concealed reservoirby means of a suitable flexible tube. This latter tank is situated belowthe bar or counter and out of sight of thecustomer, or the exible tubecan even be led to the cellar, where a small automatic electricsoda-mach ine `may be situated.

From the description so far gone into it is manifest that, assuming thatthe bottle is full` and is standing on the counter, the temperature ofthe bottle will soon reach the temperature of the room. Now when acustomer wishes a f causing it to twist. served that owing tothe extentof play of the glass of soda and requests that it be not icecoldtheoperator closes the valveCand operates the handle l5, thereby drawingthe liquid from the bottle. On the other hand, should the customerdesire ice-cold soda the modiiieation shown in Fig. 3 is resorted to,the

`valve D being closed and thehandlefl operto the fact that the head l()is pointed and turns rkindependent of the stem 9 the latter ywill simplyreciprocate upward and downwardand operate the v.valve-head Swithout Itwill be further obhandle 15 kthe liquid will not gush out, as in theordinary Siphon-bottle, but will start gradually and increase at theWill of the operator.

i `Having thus fully described my invention,

4 the operation and advantages of the same will,

it is thought, be readilyunderstood.

Having thus fully described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire tosecure by Letters .seribing witnesses.

1. A device of the class described provided with a siphon-tube, and aspout, a valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a suitablehandle, a valve-head, said head being hollow and formed with oppositewindingslots, and a pin passing through said slots, all for the purposeset forth.

2. A device of the class described provided with a Siphon-tube and spouta valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a head connectedwith said valve, said head being formed hollow with oppositewinding-slots, a pin engaging said slots and a suitable handle connectedto said head, movement of said handle being directed to turn said headand force said valve open, all for the purpose set forth.

3. A device of the class described provided with a Siphon-tube and spouta valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a hollowreciprocating head connected to said valve, and formed withwinding-slots, a stationary pin engaging said slots, and a pipe leadingto said tube and separated from said spout by said valve, all for thepurpose set vforth.

-In testimony whereofl have signed my name to this speeiiicat1on in thepresence oi two sub- DEWIS LANDAU.
